One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

on
At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence.

A mom with two kids on a stoop

This photo reminds me of when I was so happy to be a mom of two chilling at my friend Jules' house on a warm Memorial Day afternoon.

So much has happened since that day. My family has grown. We no longer have a nanny. Having three kids has definitely humbled me--especially without the extra set of hands. I now know that times can be enjoyed with less sunshine. I have learned that moms of three never chill. And, I have discovered that my capacity to love exceeds my prior expectations. 

Still, I do think we look pretty cute! :-)
